    When you're a junior you want a strong team to learn from. When you're a senior you want a dysfunctional team so you have space to show off your abilities.

    Crazy that a junior engineer was able to complete a legacy service migration with an independence. When I look back to my first job out of college, I didnt know what an API was, what a microservice was, what a monolith was, I didn't even know how to use GIT. None of those things are taught in school and leetcode didn't either.

    Nice breakdown. I can tell about my Google experience: Joined as junior. Team is pretty competent but stuck running extremely fragile system in prod (fires everywhere, touching stuff is scary, infra keep getting deprecated forcing lot of migrations). First project is a manager's pet project that was never feasible, I have nothing to show after 6months. Manager quits after 9 months. I still don't have a project and now under a new manager, I'm stuck doing tedious cleanup that nobody wants to do for another 6 months. 16 months and I have nothing to put towards promo. Finally get assigned to a 2 person project with L6, but I'm able to contribute pretty much equally. 26 months in my Google career, the project is pretty much done (and good quality) but it's not launching because of politics. I still haven't launched anything and quit b/c I'm a little depressed and feel that promo is impossible.
